Carers: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2024)

Pauline Tully: I wish to thank everyone who contributed to this debate. It is obvious, from right across the floor, that carers are really valued for the work they do, but they are a cohort who need support. We need to trust carers more. The 18.5-hour limit was raised consistently. It is too restrictive regarding study or work outside of the home. As Deputy Canney said, they cannot even undertake a...

Pauline Tully: The Minister of State mentioned the staff census of 2022. The 2023 staff census has yet to be published. Does the Minister of State have a date for when it will be published? I know it was delayed because of the industrial action but I wonder is there a date for that in order to be able to compare across the board. I wish to focus on my constituency of Cavan-Monaghan. The HSE-run team...

Carers: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2024)

Patricia Ryan: I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach, and I thank Deputy Tully for bringing this motion to the floor today. I would like to say I am shocked by the figures in the Family Carers Ireland report, but in all good conscience I cannot say that.

Carers: Motion [Private Members] (18 Jun 2024)

Martin Browne: I also thank Deputy Tully for bringing the motion to the House. This is in an important motion in light of the report by Family Carers Ireland, which revealed that 74% of those surveyed do not receive significant formal support, while 72% have never received respite.
